The Concerto of Life

[The Librarian]

When Polish pianist Ignace Paderewski toured America, he became a celebrity - and boosted Steinway.  

Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.  

Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE." When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.  

Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit. Keep Playing."  

Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato (constant background sound). Together, the Master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was mesmerized.  

That's the way it is with Jehovah. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music. Our presentation at the door may not be as smooth as we would like. We may not be at ease trying to talk with some of those in our territory that have all the "degrees" on the walls in their homes.  

We may have to work on the same counsel point in the TM School several times before moving on. But with Jehovah's help (Isaiah 41:13) we succeed.  

So, the next time we are in one of those situations-----listen carefully. You can almost hear Jehovah's voice whispering in your ear, "Don't quit. Keep trying" and feel his loving arms around you playing the concerto of your life!!!!
